The Risk Assessment Process Overview and Key Issues
Risk Assessment 1. Describe Hazards 2. Identify Community Assets 3. Evaluate impacts & potential losses 4. Summarize key issues & vulnerabilities Note: FEMA Local Mitigation Planning Handbook and adapted from U.S. Geological Survey and Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience Models
Local Hazards from the Hazard Mitigation Plan If there is a hazard mitigation plan – identify the hazards Discuss key components of the plan If there is NOT a plan, then the community may create one through this process.
Vulnerability Assessment Either taken from existing Hazard Mitigation Plan, or developed as part of this project
